Eating right is all right
Some people may actually ask what has eating got to do with longevity. Well, if you consume items that are not suitable for your physical constitution, it will clog the fragile human system and thus, causing an unpleasant chain of events.
It has been proclaimed in tonnes of books that eating the right food will do wonders for you. Some of these, right at the top of my head are soya, raw garlic, fresh vegetables (preferably organic), lots of clear water, fresh fruits, and go easy on the spirits.
In fact, as you grow older, it may be advisable to consume less because you are no longer that young person you once were about 25 years ago. Basically, your body is no longer in such fine shape.
It may take longer to process all that foreign matter that you chuck into your mouth and down the alimentary canal.Drinking coffee is fine, if you do it in moderation. Same goes for wine and other alcoholic drinks. There is such a word as "excess".
Notice, those people who are into meditation and other transcendental stuff, that they avoid certain food and are constantly fasting. Fasting is one way of freeing the body from subjecting itself to unnecessary chores.
When a human body has less to worry about, the mind carries a lighter burdern.People in the East fast for long periods in order to partake in certain religious ceremonies. It goes without saying that a body that is not burdened with too much food will pave the way for the heart and mind to work in harmony.
Most martial arts masters and masters of yoga, tai chi and qigong don't eat too much. They do eat, just like most of us, except their dietary controls are more finely honed than ours. If you do not subjected your body to too much culinary torture, it will somehow function at a better pace than normal.
The idea is to channel the energy within the human system towards more beneficial objectives. Therefore, be aware that qigong holds the key to many secrets of longevity. But the only secret that is not really a secret is fast and abstinence from activities that are not conducive for mental development.
We are all physical beings but fortunately for us, we are also spiritual entitites. Yes, the human body serves its purpose but the mind and soul reach places that we will never dream possible.Qigong functions better in a human form that is not slowed down by the consumption of too much food.
We all have to eat to live, but we should think twice if we prefer to live to eat.If you are the type who desire to touch the veil of heaven and perhaps even catch a fleeting glimpse of eternity, you need to develop a human form that is suitable for such an adventure.
Remember the famous phrase, "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." Many of us are like that. The truth is all of us can add decades to our lives but we are simply unwilling to pay for the price for it.
One of the secrets of longevity is to achieve the perfect balance of body, mind and soul. It is not that difficult but are you willing to walk down that path. You can't, of course, want your cake and eat it as well. In other words, you want to party hard, long late nights, reckless living and excesses in all forms.
Don't forget we are talking of the human body. As with anything that is a living organism, it has its limits. The body is capable of achieving almost unimaginable feats but it can also be abused, leading to a short life span.
If you want to live out your entire natural life, then you must be committed to abiding by certain principles.In two simples sentences, it means eating the good stuff and having regular good nights' sleep.
It sound so simple that people tend to laugh at the simplicity of it. If you don't worry too much, it will add years to your life. Worry keeps the body from being pristine.Take time to smell the roses, like they say.
Qigong is one exercise I know that can trigger a chain of positive effects in a well tuned body. Our bodies are basically designed to be Ferraris but we abused this biological vehicle and more oftern than not, turn it into a pick-up truck.
Consequently, it gets knocked about so often that in the end, it slows down, spurts and stutters and develops endless engine problems along the journey.Eat right, sleep tight is about it. Get that right the first time, every time and you will be all right for about 90 to 100 years on earth.
